\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ve got a whole Stack here<\/a> on this new host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah. Man, oh, man<\/a>. This guy\u2019s classic, folks. He\u2019s an anti-Semite. He doesn\u2019t like America. He makes no bones about it. And people are comparing him to Obama, on the left. He\u2019s half white, half black, he\u2019s comes from racially mixed family, just like Obama. But this guy\u2019s stepping in it with all these old tweets of his. And now he\u2019s come out — and I\u2019m kind of reluctant to talk about this \u2019cause I know what\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n

The more he gets talked about, the more Comedy Central says, “This is the right hire. We need to move Stewart out next week and put Trevor in there right now while he\u2019s hot.” And they are standing by whatever he says here in these tweets. These tweets are anti-Semitic, they\u2019re anti-fat girl, they\u2019re anti-Jewish women. I mean, some of these things are really mean-spirited. Violence against women. He talks about enjoying an uppercut to a woman that disrespects him.<\/p>\n

So he\u2019s out with an apology saying that\u2019s not really him. He said it\u2019s not fair to judge, especially a comedian, on just a few tweets, that really is unfair. So he\u2019s doing his best to say that\u2019s not — I love that apology, that practice, doesn\u2019t matter, athlete X, celebrity Y, Hollywood actress Z, they get involved in something that\u2019s really rotten and horrible and despicable, and their public apology position is, “That\u2019s not who I am.”<\/p>\n

Really? Well, who was it? Who wrote those tweets? Who hit the “send” button? “That wasn\u2019t me. That\u2019s not who I am. I don\u2019t regularly rob liquor stores,” or whatever is being accused.<\/p>\n

It is him. It\u2019s exactly who he is. He hit the “send” button. He meant to send that stuff out. I think his biggest problem is he\u2019s not funny, and he\u2019s supposed to be hosting a fake news comedy show. (interruption) Well, I know it worked for Jon Stewart. That\u2019s where the writers can come in and pick up some slack. It may be the case with this guy. But I do, I have a whole Stack — we\u2019ve got sound bites — yeah, grab sound bite number two. This is Trevor Noah. This is March 13th, so just a couple of weeks ago. He\u2019s doing a stand-up performance in London.<\/p>\n

NOAH: Flying to America particularly has been the worst. You go through different lines. There\u2019s extra checks, you know, especially if you come from what they consider a high risk Ebola region, which is apparently the whole continent. Spill coffee on each other in one big hut. I don\u2019t really ban them, \u2019cause, look, the truth is most Americans don\u2019t know much about South Africa, so — well, they don\u2019t know much about Africa as a whole. Most of them don\u2019t know much about anything.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: This guy\u2019s perfect. All of his material is what liberals would really say about America if they thought they could get away with it. This guy\u2019s got it all, I think. I think he\u2019s gonna be huge. I think Trevor is gonna be huge. He may be bigger than Stewart. Trevor Noah, he\u2019s gonna be bigger than Stewart. He may already be. This guy is perfectly willing to talk about his dislikes or even hate for America. Do you realize how many leftists are gonna eat that up? (interruption) How\u2019s he gonna stand up to the competition? Because he\u2019s from South Africa.<\/p>\n

Remember what they said. We need the perspective of somebody from a different hemisphere. It\u2019s one thing to have a Native American hate their country. Anybody can do that. But if you can find somebody from South Africa who lived through apartheid, who says America\u2019s worse? Nirvana. Added credibility coming from South Africa. Added credibility not being an American. Well, Piers Morgan didn\u2019t make it because he sounded snotty. When you listened to Piers Morgan you wanted to clear your throat and blow your own nose. I did, anyway. Piers Morgan came across as snooty. He came across as almost an elitist.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a media guy. Trevor Noah here, he\u2019s just like your average, run-of-the-mill escapee from apartheid, and he thought he got out and he ended up in America and he\u2019s in worse shape. It\u2019s made to order. Don\u2019t doubt me. You wait. He thought he was escaping apartheid, escaping racism, escaping bigotry, he lands in America and feels compelled to walk through JFK saying “hands up, don\u2019t shoot.” I mean, the left is gonna love this guy when they get to know him. (interruption) The novelty will wear off in about a week? No, I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

They got another one, John Oliver on HBO, he\u2019s another leftist British import who also is making a name for himself ripping apart every American institution he can, and they love him. You wait. Snerdley, don\u2019t doubt me on this. Don\u2019t doubt me. You\u2019re applying audience and media standards from 50 years ago that no longer apply.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And we\u2019re back, Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair. Okay. Trevor Noah and the controversy over him being hired to be the next host of The Daily Show. Grab sound bites three and four, if I have time to squeeze \u2019em in here. Trevor Noah is — I don\u2019t know if any liberal could ever really be in trouble in the media. I mean, they make it look like it. Hillary Clinton made it look like she\u2019s in trouble with the media for, what, a couple of days, but then it dissipates and evaporates, and that\u2019s where this guy is now.<\/p>\n

I mean, they\u2019re getting it out of the way, but nothing\u2019s gonna happen to him. He can tweet whatever he wants. He\u2019s a good lib. He\u2019s half black. He comes from apartheid. He\u2019s got every reason in the world to hate people, it\u2019s justified, and that\u2019s gonna be what people will end up saying. He\u2019s gonna be a big star and they\u2019re gonna make sure he\u2019s a big star. I think Comedy Central probably wishes they could put him on the air tonight, given all the publicity.<\/p>\n

But some of the things that he\u2019s tweeted out: “Girls with a big ass are like cars without power steering. Great feedback but you need to work hard to keep control.”<\/p>\n

“Almost bumped a Jewish kid crossing the road. He didn\u2019t look b4 crossing but I still would hav felt so bad in my german car!” Ha ha.<\/p>\n

“Behind every successful rap billionaire is a double as rich Jewish man.”<\/p>\n

“‘Oh yeah the weekend. People are gonna get drunk & think that I\u2019m sexy!\u2019 – fat chicks everywhere.”<\/p>\n

“Messi gets the ball and the real players try foul him, but Messi doesn\u2019t go down easy, just like jewish chicks.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Some Jewish babe really did this guy wrong at some point in his life \u2019cause he\u2019s got it in for \u2019em. So people have been reacting to this and he\u2019s apologized: Hey, this is not who I am. This is not me. This is not who I am. I don\u2019t really believe this and to try to characterize my views, to reduce my views to a handful of jokes that didn\u2019t land well, that\u2019s not a true reflection of my character nor my evolution as a comedian.<\/p>\n

So what, we just ignore all that? It didn\u2019t happen. I don\u2019t think that would work for me. I should test it. I should try it, again. Now they\u2019re all shaking their heads in there. “Don\u2019t even think about it. You won\u2019t be given the benefit the doubt.” So you don\u2019t think if I said something offensive here along the lines of what Trevor Noah said, and then tomorrow, “You know, folks, that wasn\u2019t me, and to judge my many multiple year career on the basis of a one two-minute segment on radio, totally unfair,” you don\u2019t think that would fly?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the vice-chairman and founder of reputation.com. What is this? I thought this was the Comedy Central guy. Who is this guy? Reputation.com vice-chairman, Howard Bragman, Jake Tapper is talking to him, says, “What a difference 24 hours makes. We just got a statement from Comedy Central defending Trevor Noah –” Oh, it\u2019s a PR guy, okay. “We got a statement from Comedy Central defending Trevor Noah saying, quote, ‘To judge him or his comedy based on a handful of jokes is unfair. Trevor is a talented comedian with a bright future.\u2019 Is that a good response? I guess in some ways it\u2019s risky to even respond to this stuff?”<\/p>\n

BRAGMAN: I, frankly, wonder if any comedian could survive the scrutiny of thousands of people looking through everything you ever posted, every joke you ever made, everything you ever said. I think he\u2019s gonna come out of this unscathed. I think he\u2019s gonna be a fine host, and I think he\u2019s gonna move on from here with a little speed bump in the way.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See what I mean? You see the automatic excuses these good-behaving little liberals get. “Well, I frankly wonder if any comedian could survive the scrutiny of thousands of people looking through everything they ever posted.” Well, you know, those of us on the conservative side of the aisle go through this every day, folks, and nobody makes excuses for us. Nope. We are held accountable even for things that we don\u2019t say. We\u2019re held accountable for things they think that we might even privately think. This guy comes along and says it, it\u2019s a speed bump, nobody could withstand this kind of scrutiny. He\u2019s gonna have a great career. Don\u2019t sweat it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
